Teton's, 1902.
The South Teton was scaled for the first time. The climbers were Albert R. Ellingwood and Eleanor Davis. That same day, Ellingwood became the first person to climb the 12,809 feet (3,904 m) high Middle Teton.
Granite Peak, in Montana, was scaled for the first time. The climbers were Elers Koch, James C. Whitham, and R.T. Ferguson,
Italy, taking a page out of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's book, delivered a seven point ultimatum to Greece, in response to the assassination in an ambush of an Italian general on a League of Nations', not an Italian, mission from the day prior.
It demanded:
- An official apology at the Italian legation in Athens, even though guilt was not established.
- A solemn funeral in the Catholic cathedral in Athens in the presence of the whole of the Greek government, quite a demand for anti-religious Mussolini to an Orthodox republic.
- Military honors for the bodies of the victims, who were Italian, and who deserved an Italian funeral, not a Greek one.
- Full honors by the Greek fleet to the Italian fleet which would be sent to Piraeus, as if that had anything to do with his at all.
- Capital punishment for the guilty, who were not known in the first place.
- An indemnity of 50 million lire within five days.
A reply was demanded within 24 hours. Surprisingly, Greece replied on August 30, 1923, accepting four of the demands which with modifications as follows:
- The Piraeus commandant would express the Greek Government's sorrow to the Italian Minister.
- A memorial service would be held in the presence of members of the government,
- A detachment of the guard would salute the Italian flag at the Italian legation
- The Greek military would render honors to the remains of the victims when they were transferred to an Italian warship.
The conditional acceptance was beyond reasonable.
